macOS High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur support APFS (Apple File System). This new file system offers a new method of partitioning into “Containers”, called “Space Sharing”. Essentially, containers don’t need to be size-specified, unlike partitions — the container’s free space is shared and can be allocated to any of the volumes as needed.
Are there any issues using APFS Containers with Channels DVR server on Mac? I worry that I can’t specify the storage size (2TB or 500 hours) of the Channels DVR with smart retention rules (other than specifying how many episodes are recorded or how long episodes are retained). I wonder if using APFS Containers will cause any adverse issues with Channels server.
